A Skiing we will go!

I am determined to go skiing next year. Very determined! I have already bought skiing clothes for the kids. Can you believe it? Although optimum skiing conditions around my area will only happen around August/Sept, I’ve already planned ahead. It’s summer here…so getting winter clothes now, is definitely much cheaper!
I’ve been looking all over the [...]

Nighttime Nappies

Every morning, without fail, I will have to strip his cot of all the crib bedding, and do a big wash. Everything! From mattress protector, to a layer of towels to his bedsheet. Without fail, he somehow pees out of his nappies.
Gosh..the nappies here suck big time! I’ve been trying to find the best night [...]

Just kidding..

Ok, earlier, I posted about considering taking a diet pill….I mean, if I were to take up one of the Las Vegas jobs as a showgirl, then maybe I’d consider.
But..seriously, I think I will be just like Barbara of Mummy to Chumsy.. she is dieting and staying off carbs and I can really see a [...]

The alternative

Yes! It’s true…everytime I turn a page in a women’s magazine, it has all the “Before” and “After” pictures screaming at me…..TAKE THOSE PILLS! TAKE THOSE PILLS! Or take Lipovox! Seems so easy, doesn’t it? Taking pills to reduce weight. Apparently with lipovox, you can also get rid of acne, wrinkles and boost your energy. [...]

Now that I’ve fully stopped breastfeeding…(yes… *sniff* no more… *poke* *poke* - empty - sigh!), I suddenly realised that I am free.
Free to do anything I want! I’ve been really careful with what I eat and what I do..or rather don’t do. 
Now, I can eat sashimis.
Now, I can dye my hair. 
See.. I kept wanting to [...]

Taking up running again.

I used to run. Run, seriously.

Often, during a run, I would think about everything going on in my [...]

Beach party?

I’m preparing for a beach party. No no..don’t be jealous. Not THAT kind of beach party!
This beach party will only be for boys. I have to bring spades, buckets, forks and empty ice-cream containers. Then, I also have to bring drinks, food and baby food! 
But where will I go? I’m still looking. The Outer Banks [...]

Common ground

I recently received a letter from an unknown insurer..and opened up out of curiosity. 
See, my neighbour and I share a common ground. We share the driveway. Being the thoughtful neighbour that I am, I made a copy and went around to have a chat with him. He wasn’t in. So, I left a note on the [...]
